Great Christmas Gifts for Gardeners

December 9, 2015 by Jeanne

Each year, I try to select some of the best Christmas gifts for gardeners. This year’s list includes several products that I’ve personally used and enjoyed. You can buy them online, or find them for sale at your local garden center.

Please note that this post contains affiliate links. When you make a purchase, I receive a small commission. This does not affect your cost in any way. Thank you.

Great Christmas Gifts for Gardeners

cobra head weeding tool

The CobraHead Weeder and Cultivator

I reviewed the CobraHead weeder and cultivator in a blog post several months ago. My favorable review then still stands. This is a fantastic tool, and one that I am glad I own. It has a lightweight handle and a heavy-duty steel head that has a sharp point on it. You can really dig into the soil to get to the roots of weeds and pull them out. It’s a great tool for just $24.95.

The Ultimate Grow Light

The Ultimate Grow Light is a great lamp for seed starting. Just place it on any table top, plug it in, place your seed tray underneath (or a house plant) and voila – instant plant table. It’s sturdy and will last for many years to come. Available from Burpee, America’s premier seed and plant catalog.

Badger Gardening Gloves

This is another product that I personally reviewed and used in the garden. I can’t say enough good things about the Badger Gardening Gloves. I go through gloves like water, ripping out the index finger EVERY week or so. I’m not kidding. That’s how rough I am on gardening gloves. The Badger Gloves lasted for two years without a rip, and now have just a tiny worn spot in the fingertip. They are great gloves that keep your hands dry and clean while providing useful “claw” fingertips for weeding.

Buy a pair from Amazon: Badger Gardening Gloves.

Book: Teaming with Microbes, the Organic Gardener’s Guide to the Soil Food Web

A book about bacteria, fungi and microbes doesn’t sound like a great Christmas present, but trust me, if you have an organic gardener in your life, this will be the perfect gift. It changed how I view my garden, my soil, and my organic gardening practices. Although based in the most recent soil science, the author has a fun, engaging tone that makes this a highly enjoyable books. Recommended as a favorite among the gifts for gardeners.

Purchase it from Amazon using the link below.

Did someone say books? Did you know that I’m the author of two gardening books? Yes, and I hope you like them. Give them as gifts to your favorite gardener this Christmas!

Both available on Amazon and Smashwords.

 

I hope that these suggestions for gifts for gardeners help you find the perfect gift for Christmas, Mother’s Day or whenever you needs a gift for that special gardener in your life.

Recipe Fail – Coconut Bars

Each weekend, I dig out my favorite cookbook – the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, 13th Edition. I flip through the pages, skimming the recipes, checking to see if I have the ingredients to make those that catch my eye. And then, I make the recipe, usually late Sunday afternoon after all the chores are done. It’s…

Propagating Peach Trees from Softwood Cuttings

We decided that propagating peach trees from softwood cuttings was the way to go when we couldn’t find the variety we wanted at the store this past week. The best eating peach we’ve ever grown here at Seven Oaks Farm is “Red Haven.” It was recommended by our neighbor, a man whose family has farmed…

Water Bread – Recipe Review

Once you make water bread, you’ll never eat store bought white bread again. In fact, you won’t be able to look at a loaf of “white bread” from the market and consider it bread, in any sense of the word, after you’ve taken a bite of the real thing. Hot. Crunchy crust. Tender, flaky, soft…
